Discuss Dog License and Kennel Fees
|
Peter Skeldon was present for the discussion.
Mr. Skeldon thought the fees are sufficient other than the
euthanasia charges are not enough to cover costs. He estimated
that the dog fund loses about $10,000 a year. He doesn't feel
that they get the delinquent license list soon enough to do any
good. Mr. Hall said that it is already in the database and can
be run easily enough. He also commented there is a bill that has
been introduced that the state will take the licenses over and
just give the county a small portion. Mr. Skeldon said he has
heard nothing pertaining to that. Commissioner Graf asked him to
check with his association. Mr. Skeldon said that he gets
monthly correspondence from them and there has been nothing of
that mentioned. Commissioner Genter suggested going to $15 and
$10. Mr. Skeldon said he doesn't think that he would do that but
that it is their decision. He added that they just told him
downstairs that we were up in tags - approximately 7000 tags
without kennel tags. Mr. Hall said that he can run a report that
shows how many tags were sold. |

Mr. Hall returned with information on the dog & kennel
budget |
The 2006 revenue report shows $168,000 total
projected revenue, $89,192.81 current revenue with -$78,807.19
being reported under budget. 2005 revenue report was $140,632.67
projected revenue, $128,196.18 in revenue with -$12,482.39
reported under budget. 2004 reveune report showed $109,000
projected revenue, $118,051.85 in revenue and -$948.15 reported
under budget.
Mr. Skeldon noted a discrepancy in the sale of dogs - he thought
the amount too low. He also thought the kennel penalties line
item is off as well as the drop off fees. A big influx should be
seen in December according to the Auditor's office but Mr. Hall
said he has not seen that. Mr. Skeldon said that Brian Banister
said that his kennel license check was just cashed but he paid
it in January. Outside locations that collect license tag fees
send them in monthly or Peter and Brian pick them up. Mr.
Skeldon said that he estimates that there must be monies that
are not accounted for yet in the Auditor's office especially
with Mr. Banister's experience. He said that he has seen stacks
down there that have not been paid in. Finding the number of
tags sold would be a clue to see if the monies are truly
reflected in the reports Mr. Hall presented. General consensus
was to leave the fees the same but do an investigation as to why
the monies are short. A flat fee for euthanasia was suggested of
$50 to help deter that. Finding the delinquents at this time is
not a good idea due to the notification being so late in the
year.
The commissioners will check into the issue.
